Sorry - I was speaking in gobbledeegook. I just mean that if you run Ubuntu from a terminal screen without using the GUI, you might be able reclaim a meaningful amount of extra cycles.
To do that you first switch to a Terminal screen with Ctrl-Alt-F1 and login with your username and password.
Then do:
Code:
sudo service gdm stop
Code:
./fah6It sounds harder than it is. Once you get used to the Terminal screen, you begin to forget Ubuntu even has a GUI.
Use the IPMI that board comes with. I just got all of mine working this evening. Once you understand the concept (which I did not at all), it is extremely slick. I can walk you through how to do it.
If you would like, I will set up a system with all the hdds I have (there are quite a few since I sold my SR-2s) and try to mirror what you are trying to do to get it all to work. Linux usually drives my half insane trying to some things that are pretty simple to do in Windows (wireless NICs come to mind), but I have yet to come accross anything that I could not do. I question the need of a VM, but I was actually going to set one up anyway on one of my 4ps to see what WHS is all about and ultimately to figure out how to do all of it in Linux.
The main thing is that Linux is not, nor never will be, as easy to set up as Windows. Most every install I have ever done requires at least some googling of how to do various things, and I have dozens of bookmarks saved since I never rmember things from one install to the next. If you are not willing to take the time to figure stuff out and learn along the way, then you should definately just use Windows.
musky, you're awesome. but don't do anything for my benefit that you wouldn't do otherwise. As you might be able to tell, I'm a bit burned out on Linux right now. You nailed my biggest problem, and that is that my time is precious right now, so I don't have time to tinker around and figure stuff out on my own. I just need stuff to work, or else I need to be able to get good answers to my questions quickly and easily, and neither of those things seem to be happening.
I could do without WHS in a VM too, as long as I found a system that would serve my many media files and keep those files as well as the computers on my network backed up.

jebo, whats your issue running a file server in linux? Admitidly you have more drives than me, i do have 5x2TB drives with 5 seperate partitions, and 1x1TB with a single partition .... and its been running fine as a file server......
I think my problem was I tried to bring a mix of NTFS partitioned drives from my previous Windows install. Ubuntu didn't even realize one of the partitions existed. I could not find or mount it using various methods. It also said one of my drives was in "SFS" format and it would not mount it at all. I almost formatted it but I'm glad I didn't because once I got it back into windows I realized it has 1TB worth of movies on it.
There's also something screwed up with network sharing permissions. I share a folder on the network and tell it to allow everyone full access. But, when I try to navigate to the folder on a Windows PC it prompts for a password. I can't even use my ubuntu username, I have to give it the root user and root password.

i've had my SR-2 on wifi (through a dd-wrt router as a wireless client bridge) for several months now and it works just fine, even on the big bigadv units
What am I looking at here? This is from lm-sensors
Code:
k10temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1: +77.5C (high = +70.0C)
k10temp-pci-00cb
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1: +77.5C (high = +70.0C)
k10temp-pci-00d3
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1: +87.9C (high = +70.0C)
k10temp-pci-00db
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1: +87.5C (high = +70.0C)
k10temp-pci-00e3
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1: +80.4C (high = +70.0C)
k10temp-pci-00eb
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1: +76.6C (high = +70.0C)
k10temp-pci-00f3
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1: +74.9C (high = +70.0C)
k10temp-pci-00fb
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1: +71.6C (high = +70.0C)
[EMAIL="root@4p"]root@4p[/EMAIL]:~#Since I kinda like these kind of projects, I'll work on how to do it. No idea how you ended up with a drive formatted SFS, but I'll try to duplicate that as well. I'll get with you in irc some time for specific requirements, jebo., then try to figure out a test system of some sort.
You'll have to show me how you got Ubuntu to see it as SFS. I have mounted NTFS drives several times without issue.
fdisk listed it as SFS
yeah I had several other NTFS drives in the same system mounted fine. This Hitachi 2TB was the only one. Like I said though, I'm in windows now and I see it just fine.
I believe if the disk is setup as a dynamic disk rather than basic disk, Linux shows it as SFS. You may be able to mount it with:
mount -t ntfs /dev/sdX /mnt/mountpoint

About using wifi, I always had problems with connections dropping on my boxen, so I recently switched to powerline networking (using the cheap TRENDnet kit from Amazon). I have some computers in my dining room and the powerline seems to work much better than wifi and it's more elegant than running 50' of cable across the floor. It's more expensive than a cheap wifi adapter (or a long cable), but I like it, especially combined with a cheap 5-port switch to allow for multiple remote computers.

Very epic setup, can't wait to see the final build!
